The Ontic Spheres

The Universe as a Cosmic Brain

  Just as a brain has layers of complexity from base functions to intricate higher-level processing, the universe, through its Ontic Spheres, showcases a hierarchical layering, outlined below.   Traditionally, it is the path of a Vocru Heir to move through these Spheres as they progress in learning the Iconic Language. Thus the Spheres themselves are tantamount to different phases of maturity in the Vocru species, an index of intellectual and ethical mastery.

The Base/Core

  Much like the basal ganglia and brainstem in our brains, which oversee primary and instinctive functions, the central core of the universe contains the foundational laws and principles—the 'base code' if you will. This is the realm of the Four Base Languages which establish the primary axioms of Existence. Here, everything is more primal, deterministic, and, in a way, more 'congested' due to the fundamental nature of the processes at play.
 

Ascending Neural Layers

  Moving beyond the core, the universe becomes progressively 'thinner' and more intricate. These layers can be likened to the evolutionary development of the mammalian brain, where the limbic system governs emotions, and the neocortex oversees higher cognitive functions like abstract thinking. In the context of our universe, these layers symbolize the successive Ontic Spheres where the rules become more abstract, such as Becoming, Being, and Emanation, respectively informing the structure of higher-order Languages such as Synthesomancy, Transtasis, Rule, and any as-yet-undiscovered theoretical Languages beyond. Each layer builds upon the one below, borrowing its Principles and then adding nuance and complexity.
 

Contribution to Expansion

  The entities within the universe, by processing the Iconic language, aren't merely passive observers but active contributors. Through thought and interaction, they create a feedback loop, refining and evolving the very structure of the universe. This dynamic is analogous to how neural networks learn and adapt in our brains, where constant feedback and recalibration lead to optimization.
 

Emergence of New Layers

  Much like how neural networks can develop and become more refined over time, the universe too expands and evolves as Boundary Conditions are understood and the Xistu Ethical Geometries are realized. This is a profoundly co-creative process. Entities, in their quest to achieve these perfect configurations, essentially 'pave the path' for newer realms. They're like neurons firing together, and in doing so, wiring together, building the scaffolding for higher layers of reality.
 

Consciousness and Cognition

  While the universe isn't 'conscious' in the same sense sentient beings within it are, it is very much alive in its dynamism. It reacts, adapts, and evolves based on the myriad interactions taking place within its vast expanse. Entities within this cosmic 'brain' introduce an element of variability, creativity, and unpredictability, driving the universe's continued evolution.
In essence, the universe, structured as layered Ontic Spheres, is a reflection of the hierarchical and evolving nature of cognition itself. While not sentient, the universe is a vast, dynamic system, ever-changing and growing, driven by the entities that endeavor to understand and shape it. And in this majestic dance, the universe and its inhabitants co-create Reality.
